Today's Republicans are acting like spoiled kids

I can't help but notice that today's Republicans are exactly like spoiled children. When they realized that funding the government meant funding the Affordable Care Act, they shut down the government. By doing this, they said, "Well, then nobody gets their money. If the Affordable Care Act is a part of the government now, we choose no government at all!"

It was just plain spoiled rotten of them to adopt this "all or nothing" strategy. I'm sure a lot of us grew up in a neighborhood where there was one particularly spoiled kid. You might have played football or baseball or kickball in the street with this kid sometimes. But if this kid didn't get his way during one of these neighborhood games, he would "take his ball and go home." Today's Republicans remind me of the spoiled kids that most of us probably grew up around.
